Just some quick notes, not that I'm strongly opposed against usrmerge or
dislike the idea in general but this is somehow odd. First of all why is
this serious now? I know there is an ongoing discussion on debian-devel
about usrmerge but when was it decided to file RC bugs and make this
release-critical? I suppose opencv will work perfectly fine with the
traditional file system layout?

In any case it is not a very good idea to diverge from upstream or to
carry yet another patch. I wonder why this hasn't been changed already
because Fedora moved to this scheme already and they should have noticed
that too.

So far

Markus
